Chapter 8:
Making recordings
Making an audio or a video
recording
You can make an audio or a video recording
from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or
video source connected to the receiver (such
1
as a CD player or TV).
Keep in mind you can't make a digital
recording from an analog source or vice-versa,
so make sure the components you are
recording to/from are hooked up in the same
way (see Connecting up on page 12 for more on
connections).

Note
1 VSX-817 model only – If you are recording a video source, you need to use the same type of connection for the source as for
the recorder. For example, you can't record a component hooked up to composite video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the
component video outputs (see Connecting other video components on page 16 for more on video connections).
2 The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
